You better not miss these Standup comedy performances on YouTube

Who doesn’t love comedy, am I right? We as a nation have been infatuated by romance, emotion and comedy. I’m all for comedy though. But not a lot of people took up stand up comedy back in the day, and even if they did, how would we know? Today, I can watch Standup comedy performances on YouTube within minutes!

With YouTube, You, me and everybody else has the pleasure of sitting in front of a computer, accompanied by some burgers and pizza and maybe a bottle of coke (or beer, you alcoholic!) laughing hysterically, watching these guys eke out the humour from everyday situations with family, neighbours, relatives, friends and even strangers with some of the best Standup comedy performances on YouTube.

I’m simply glad that I can watch Zakir Khan explain what a ‘Sakht Launda’ he is, or Biswa Kalyan Rath talk about English and Reproduction, or perhaps watching Adiiti Mittal turn one of the most uncomfortable words in India into a laugh riot. We’re simply lucky! Check out some of the best standup comedy performances on YouTube to turn that midweek frown upside down.
